Chapter 6: I can't help myself
He Anming sat in the car and pondered for a while, and then drove to the villa in the suburbs.
The occurrence of love is unexpected by anyone, even ourselves, and when we have not yet woken up to whether we like someone or not, the inertia of behavior has long become uncontrollable. Unconsciously you will want to see each other, and unconsciously in the busy interval or in a certain scene, the shadow of that person will jump out of your mind. Unconsciously, feel happy and excited about it.
He Anming drove the car into the garage, opened the door and found that the room was pitch black, and the figure standing in the rain and smiling softly at himself in his mind did not exist. Some of them were lost and went to turn on the lights one by one, and took a look at the guest room on the second floor, the bed was made clean and tidy, and the changed shirt was put on the window, He Anming walked over and prepared to put it away and send it for dry cleaning tomorrow, it was a little wet to the touch, and it looked like it had just been washed during the day.
The corners of He Anming's mouth curled slightly, this stupid girl didn't look at the label when she washed her clothes, and this shirt could only be dry cleaned and spoiled by a washing machine.
"Huh, it doesn't look like the washing machine has been stirred up, could it be that she washed it by hand?" He Anming thought to himself. I took my shirt downstairs and went downstairs to the kitchen to make myself a cup of strong tea to refresh myself, and wanted to go back to the study to continue working. Leaning against the cabinet and waiting for the water to heat up, his eyes inadvertently caught a glimpse of the bag of ginger tea again. He Anming took out his mobile phone and looked at it, it was already past eleven o'clock. It's just a phone call, just out of a kind of responsibility, good people do it to the end!
The moment the phone was connected, He Anming was shocked by the sound over there, and his subordinates subconsciously bounced away a distance.
"Hey?" Joey was surrounded by guests and didn't look at the caller ID.
He Anming frowned slightly, a little displeased, and listened to the sound on the other end of the phone, and when he heard it, it was a night game.
"Hey?" Joey asked again, looking at the caller ID, although he didn't have a name, Joey woke up a little drunk. It's that uncle's phone number. The string of numbers was inexplicably remembered in Joey's mind.
Joey took the phone and smiled at the guest, "I'm sorry, I'll answer the phone." ”
"Come back soon!"
Joey clutched his phone and ran to a quiet place outside the box.
"Hey, hello. ”
"Playing outside with friends?" He Anming caressed the rim of the cup with his fingers, his face grim.
"No, I'm at work. ”
"Going to work?"
"Hmm. ”
He Anming was silent, working at night? This little girl is really beyond her imagination.
"Uh... Sorry I didn't say hello, but I'm late at work and won't be back to you. Thank you for taking care of me these two days. ”
"Well, it's nothing. Do you want to go home at night?"
Joey was silent, in fact, she didn't think about where she should go tonight, she definitely couldn't go back to home, and the villa was too far away, and there was definitely no bus to take when she got off work. Taxi... What a waste of money, she didn't know how much money she would get tonight, and she vomited dirty guests' clothes.
"Why don't you speak. ”
"Oh, I'm not going home. The company has a staff dormitory, but I don't know if it can be arranged tonight, I first go to a nearby Internet café to make up a night, tomorrow I have to go to work anyway, not wait for dawn to go to the same school to take a bath and rest. ”
He Anming was suspicious for a moment, but quickly reacted.
"What time do you get off work, I'll pick you up. ”
"Huh?"
"Send me the address. I've got something to do right now, see you at work. ”
Without waiting for Joey to answer, He Anming hung up the phone, leaned on the cabinet and took a sip of tea with a cup.
Towards the end of summer, after a rainstorm, the moonlight is like a promise, and it is slightly cool. He Anming leaned on the cabinet with his arms crossed, staring at the bag of ginger tea on the table.
This little girl really has several faces, looking delicate and weak, speaking slowly and well-behaved, and quite bold. Is that kind of work a place that can be done casually? Are she sure she can handle it, or is she not what she thought she would be?
He Anming thought about it and felt that he was a little ridiculous. For no reason, he is so concerned about a little girl who has been with him for less than 24 hours and has run away from home? Who dares to run away from home? Probably just a rebellious child in adolescence.
"Hum~"
He Anming picked up his phone.
"Two points, Huadu International Entertainment City. Thank you"
He Anming smiled uncontrollably at the phone, although he looked a little disobedient, but fortunately, he was quite polite. The children can be taught.
He Anming has also been to this nightclub a few times, he doesn't like this kind of place, or he doesn't like to socialize at all, but after squatting in the same pit for a long time, it is basically impossible to want a leaf not to stick to his body. Fortunately, there are not some necessary figures, and I don't need to attend this kind of occasion, just leave it to the person in charge below.
He Anming arrived at the store, and the lobby manager at the front desk hurriedly greeted him.
"Hello Mr. He, are you here to talk about something?
"I'm looking for someone. “
"Who are you looking for, do you have a box number, I'll take you there." “
He Anming then remembered that he didn't even know the other party's name, so he rushed up.
"Oh, no, I'll contact her myself, you're busy. ”
"Okay, I'll pour you a glass of water, you sit here. ”
"Okay, thank you. ”
"Mr. He is polite. ”
After the other party left, He Anming broadcast it to Joey.
"Hey, I'm He Anming. I'll be waiting for you in the lobby. ”
"Oh, hello. I haven't gotten off work yet. ”
"Come out, I'll talk to your boss. ”
Joey was about to say something when the phone hung up again. No way. Joey had to excuse himself to go to the bathroom and hurriedly walked out.
From afar, I saw He Anming leaning on the sofa and looking at the street outside the door, midsummer night, as if in a dream. Joey's stumbling pace became lighter because of this, as if stepping on a ball of cotton wool, and the whole person couldn't help but want to fall, greedily enjoying this moment of stability and tranquility.
Joey looked fascinated. He Anming turned his head and looked at Joey at a glance.
One is a person with a cold temperament and does not like to laugh. One is a person who can't laugh because of the malice of life. When the two looked at each other, they both laughed unconsciously.
Joey walked over briskly, a little embarrassed, trying to control himself from falling, and trying to walk in a straight line, but still staggered to draw a wavy line.
He Anming got up and walked to the middle to wait for Joey, looking at her in a dusty outfit, there was a moment of displeasure on her face that was difficult for others to detect. Joey stood beside He Anming, and his little daughter was in full swing. Some shyly smiled at him.
"Let's go. ”
"Well, I haven't gotten off work yet. ”
"I'll talk to your boss. Go back first. “
Joey was a little embarrassed, but he still followed He Anming obediently.
"The ......"
He Anming stopped and stared back at Joey.
"I really need this job. I know you're nice, but... But I need money, I need money to pay for tuition. ”
The saying that wine is strong and intimidating is true. Joey was already drunk, and his face turned red because of embarrassment.
He Anming stood in place and stared at the little girl in front of him, who was only up to his shoulder, although people felt that she was full of powerlessness and weakness, but there was a trace of stubbornness in her eyes, which was also a kind of bravery.
He Anming looked at Joey for a moment, walked over silently, grabbed Joey's wrist and took her to the car.
Li Zhongtai was saying goodbye to the customer, and he was a little surprised to see He Anming pulling Joey into the car.
Li Zhongtai, who has also traveled in the United States, is no stranger to He Anming, and the Chinese circle abroad is so big, it is inevitable that there will be times when they meet in their work, not to mention that He Anming is indeed shrewd and capable. When he came back from the United States to found Holley Technology, the outside world said that he relied on women to open the door, which was nothing more than sour words, without advanced technical support and strong control of the situation and management skills, at most it could only be a small and medium-sized enterprise. He Anming can make today's Holley Group sit in a leading position in the industry, spanning three major fields: technology services, entertainment media, and financial securities. It is absolutely impossible to rely only on speculation to take advantage of the situation.
However, he believes that He Anming is not a woman, and a man with a great heart will not be stumped by the love of his children. I met He Anming a few times, and I also felt that he was a very arrogant person at heart. Fang Jingjing, a woman who is unable to find fault with her appearance and talent, may be able to enter his eyes, and the one in front of her... I was chatting with her in the bathroom just now, and it didn't look like she was very smart and wanted to climb up. But to be able to catch a man like He Anming, it seems that he really underestimated this little junior sister.
After all, he is also a person who can be admitted to H University, and he has been influenced and trained by various senior alumni in his alma mater for several years, and it is difficult not to compete for the elite talents of the pillars.
"You can tell me about you, and if you want, maybe I can help you come up with ideas." ”
He Anming helped Joey fasten his seatbelt, and while starting the car, he turned his head and said this to Joey.
Joey turned his head to look at He Anming, a little embarrassed, and then turned his head out of the car window again.
They were speechless all the way.
Joey rolled down the window and put his head on it to blow the wind, trying to sober himself up. He Anming's car drove quite steadily, but he still couldn't stand the alcohol in his stomach. Before the car stopped in front of the villa, Joey couldn't help but pull the door and kneel on the ground and vomited.
He Anming hurriedly got out of the car and stroked Joey's back, wanting her to feel more comfortable.
"Yes... Sorry, thanks. ”
"Still throwing up?"
"It's okay, I just endured it all the way, and I stopped abruptly and didn't hold back my nausea. ”
Joey got up from the ground and wiped his mouth with the back of his hand, lowering his head and not daring to look at He Anming.
"You go in first, I'll park the car. “
Joey obediently entered the door. The drunkenness and sleepiness made her unable to hold on, and she staggered and fell into the sofa, her head groggy. I vaguely heard the sound of He Anming entering the door to change his shoes, and tried to open his eyes and sit up, but he didn't have any strength at all.
He Anming stood aside and looked at Joey's frowning and uncomfortable appearance, and couldn't help but squat down, wanting to reach out and smooth her frowning eyebrows.
Joey felt like he was back as a child.
When he was a child, Joey was wronged at home and ran to his grandparents' house to hide, but he refused to say it, for fear that the two old people would worry and be sad. It's just that the old man doesn't know anything, and if the child is not wronged, he will not run out and refuse to go home.
Joey has been unstable in sleep since she was a child, and she always frowns unconsciously, and her grandmother secretly wipes her tears while gently touching Joey's eyebrows. I want her to sleep peacefully and peacefully.
He Anming squatted beside Joey and stared at her for a while, and when he saw her asleep, he wanted to take a blanket and cover her. The moment she got up to leave, the hand that caressed her forehead was grabbed by Joey.
Joey hadn't felt this tranquility in a long time. The subconscious made her a little greedy and reluctant to end. Struggling to open his eyes, He Anming, who was staring at him, gradually emerged in the faint light.
